Who we are
Newbold Community Church is a lively, diverse and family-orientated church based in Rochdale. We are part of the Baptist tradition and are committed to worshipping God, growing in faith together, and serving the community around us.
People from many different backgrounds and stages of life make up our church family. Whether you are exploring faith for the first time or looking for a church to call home, you are welcome here.
Our Vision
Our desire is to glorify God and see lives transformed through the message of Jesus Christ.
As a church we want to grow in our relationship with God, support one another in faith, and share God's love with the community around us. We believe the church is called to reflect God's grace and truth both within the church family and throughout the wider community.
What we believe
Our beliefs are rooted in the Bible and the historic Christian faith.
We believe in one God who has revealed Himself as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who came to earth, died for our sins, and rose again so that we might have new life through Him.
We believe the Bible is God's Word and guides how we live and follow Jesus.
We believe salvation is a gift of God's grace and is received through faith in Jesus Christ.
We believe the church is a community of believers called to worship God, encourage one another, and share the good news of Jesus.
Our Values
Everything we do as a church is shaped by a few key values.
Worship
We gather together to worship God and give Him the glory He deserves.
Prayer
Prayer is central to our life as a church as we seek God's guidance and presence.
Community
We believe church is about relationships. We want to build a welcoming and supportive church family.
Discipleship
We want to grow as followers of Jesus, learning from His teachings and applying them to our lives.
Service
We seek to serve the local community and demonstrate God's love in practical ways.
leadership
Newbold Community Church is currently led by elders who provide spiritual leadership and guidance for the church. They are supported by the diaconate, whose members serve the church and act as trustees.
Together they help care for the church community and support the life and mission of the church.
Our History
Newbold Community Church has served the local area of Rochdale for many years and has long been part of the life of the surrounding community. Located on Milnrow Road, the church has welcomed generations of people from the Newbold area and beyond.
Throughout its history, the church has sought to remain faithful to its calling to worship God, teach the Bible, and serve the local community. While the people and seasons of church life have changed over time, the heart of the church has remained the same: to follow Jesus and share His love with others.
Today, Newbold continues that story as a community of people seeking to live out their faith and make a positive impact in Rochdale.
